Republicans run marginal governments with large deficits and have never been able to exhibit, and I do mean NEVER, have been able to demonstrate their ideology works in this country or any other country. Their foreign policies are those of exploitation and not mutual benevolence. Where and when were Republicans EVER successful in fulfilling a promise of their ideologies. The ONLY aspect of Guiliani's candidacy that any Christian Conservative cares about is the 'ideaology' of defeating Roe v. Wade. To that end they will sacrifice all including their own national security to the hands of incompetents. They are simply bizarre and narcisstic without regard to appropriate government and the well being of the nation.
Here we go again. The White Man's world of the Christian Coalition. Between them they are 140 years old. Robertson is 77 and Giuliani is 63. How old world can one get? One thing is true about both, they are opportunists. They deserve each other.
Basically, the rest of the hour was primarily non-news, and avoided discussion about the failures in Afghanistan and the reporting to prison by still another corrupt Republican.

PUL-I-KHUMRI, Afghanistan (AFP) — Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday declared three days of national mourning after 52 people were killed, six of them lawmakers, in the country's deadliest suicide bombing.
Hundreds of people attended funerals for the dead in the rural town of Pul-i-Khumri, 150 kilometres (90 miles) north of Kabul, where the attacker targeted a crowd gathered Tuesday to welcome visiting parliamentarians.
A military plane flew the bodies of the six MPs, including prominent opposition figure Mustafa Kazimi, back to the capital, where several government officials attended a ceremony.
The parliamentarians, elected in 2005, four years after the removal of the Taliban government -- were to be given a state funeral on Thursday....

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The US Air Force has grounded all its F-15 fighter planes after an accident in Missouri triggered concerns about the ageing fleet, officials said Tuesday.
The decision comes after Japan on Sunday grounded its F-15 fleet after it was informed by US forces that an Air National Guard F-15 fighter jet had crashed.
"The cause of that accident is still under investigation," the US Air Force said in a statement.
"Preliminary findings indicate that a possible structural failure of the aircraft may have occurred. The suspension of flight operations is a precautionary measure."...

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- With U.S. F-15 fighters ordered to stand by in Afghanistan, French fighters are providing close-air support for U.S. troops and their allies there, the Military Times reported Wednesday.
Since a Nov. 2 crash of a F-15C Eagle in Missouri, the U.S. AirForce has restricted flights of F-15Es and F-15Cs to "mission-critical" sorties only.
In Afghanistan, where F-15Es take off from Bagram Air Base, the restriction means that F-15Es sit on combat alert status but are not assigned to pre-planned or on-call missions.
In the absence of F-15s, French Mirage 2000 and F-1 CR fighters were summoned for two air strikes and more shows of force above enemy positions in Afghanistan.
Japan has also grounded its F-15s following the U.S. crash....

OXFORD, Wis. (AP) - Accompanied by his wife and a longtime friend, former Illinois Gov. George Ryan avoided the media but not the inevitable Wednesday when he walked into prison to start serving a 6-year corruption sentence.
The 73-year-old Republican dodged a throng of media members at the main entrance to the minimum-security federal prison camp in central Wisconsin, then donned the standard-issue clothing worn by the more than 200 other inmates there - tan shirt and pants, white socks and steel-toed shoes...

How much of the USA Treasury is DEVOTED to the military and we don't have competent planes in the air over Afghanistan? What? This is the USA? Where? And Cooper and Conservative Media won't even MENTION it yet alone expoit it? Really? These aren't news services to the people of the USA, these are propaganda outlets ! Do you like being irrelevant and nothing more than a distraction for a misguided USA's populous in regard to what the dangers they face in the light of incompetent Republicans, Andy? Impeachment is the word. Can't seem to find the word and it's meaning in real life in America today? I am not surprised.
And this country wants ANOTHER Republican? You've got to be joking. When one listens to the Conservative media they are chronically selling 'the ideology' of the party as the major concern of the USA. That is why Pat Robertson came out of his 'power grab' closet. There isn't anything worthwhile regarding this administration or any Republican administration except more exploitation of the USA treasury, more war, more global suffering at the lack of REAL policy and more and more fiscal irresponsibility.
Fiscal responsiblity to Conservatives is lowing taxes to put more money in their pockets while cutting services to the country and placing their very lives at risk at any cost IN HOPES their 'privatized' nation eeks out enough income to make government a worthwhile thought. They are nothing but PURE, UNADULTEREDATED GREED.
That's all Republicans are.
There is NOTHING efficient or worthwhile about the Bush/Cheney adminisration. They have not been able to generate high levels of income to the USA treasury WITHOUT increasing huge fiscal overriding debt. It makes Republicans happy to have money in their pockets and they want it all back with no government oversight or existance at all, but, they YET under any Republican administration have been able to prove the idea of expansive privatization can support this government and it's people with a healthy margin of safety to it's populous.
Republicans run marginal governments with large deficits and have never been able to exhibit, and I do mean NEVER, have been able to demonstrate their ideology works in this country or any other country. Their foreign policies are those of exploitation and not mutual benevolence. Where and when were Republicans EVER successful in fulfilling a promise of their ideologies. The ONLY aspect of Guiliani's candidacy that any Christian Conservative cares about is the 'ideaology' of defeating Roe v. Wade. To that end they will sacrifice all including their own national security to the hands of incompetents. They are simply bizarre and narcisstic without regard to appropriate government and the well being of the nation.
Let's take it one step further:
The Bush/Cheney administration 'isolate' statistics to 'pretend' to have a buoyant economy. It isn't true.
In this article from The New York Times it is noted that an isolated statistic regarding productivity is showing increased commodity, HOWEVER, what is not at all apparent in those same PROPAGANDA reports of Bush/Cheney economics is the desperation they have gone to ARTIFICALLY inflate the USA economy as successful.
...“We will favor stronger currencies over weaker ones, and will readjust accordingly,” Cheng Siwei, vice chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress told a conference in Beijing on Wednesday. A Chinese central bank vice director, Xu Jian, said the dollar was “losing its status as the world currency,” according to Bloomberg News....
Besides record USA debt, the Consumer is in insoluable debt and unable to recupeate in the face of The Fed dumping huge amounts of money into the USA economy. Quite literally what Bush and Cheney have done in 'their Conservative strategy' against the USA electorate is deceive them regarding 'the entire' picture that buoys their failing economy. There is no competent economic stategy of Republcans. You cannot cut taxes and insure the fiscal responsibility of the USA. It's going to cave in and the Ameican people don't feel it enough to believe they are involved with a failed and failing economic strategy. The Conservatives blame the current Democratic majority for any failure when in fact the Democrats are simply trying to return programs and fiscal responsibility to the nation. It's not easy being 'the fall guy' to the Republican Greed Machine.
